If New Zealand had abided by the principles of the Titiri o Waitangi we would be a bilingual nation. Our school is working towards becoming an 'English Medium bilingual school' - where students can converse in English and Maori fluently. We need to support Maori to take back the ground lost with anti-Maori language laws, that saw generations lose Te Reo. This initiative lifts the visibility of Te Reo and highlights the mahi we need to do, to develop Te Reo as a national, treasured taonga.
